Sochi stray dogs

Kelly O’Meara, director
of companion animals and engagement for Humane Society International, was “very
surprised” when she heard that Sochi
officials planned to kill
stray dogs roaming around the Olympic host region throughout the Games. Just
last April, organizers scrapped
that idea, and said they would build a shelter for the animals. Now, city
officials have hired a private company to do the dirty work — its owner told ABC
News that the dogs posed a public-safety and health risk and that they were
“biological trash.”
